“The Google Science Fair is an online science competition
open to students ages 13 to 18 from around the globe. It encourages them to
change the world through scientific inquiry. They’ll learn about their chosen
topic and develop key skills along the way.

Every year, teachers play a huge role in the Google Science
Fair. Many past finalists and winners credit their teachers with telling them
about the competition in the first place and supporting their participation.
We’ve put together some resources so you can involve your own students, build
on existing classroom learning and contribute positively to their experience.

Join us in helping to champion a new generation of
innovators.

Students sign up for the Science Fair with a free Google
account at GoogleScienceFair.com.
They’ll then carry out a test or experiment on a subject they’re passionate
about, and submit their project online. The submissions deadline is 18 May
2015. There’s a whole section of our website dedicated to helping
participants through the competition.

After the first round of judging, we’ll announce 90 regional
finalists whose work will then be reviewed even closer by a panel of judges.
The top 20 students, or teams, will be invited to our finalist event at Google
headquarters in Mountain View, California. Here they’ll get to present their
work to a group of distinguished scientists and tech innovators.

In the end, we’ll be honoring 5 category winners, a
Community Impact winner, an Incubator award and the Grand Prize Winner. Whether
or not they win, we hope your students’ participation in the Google Science
Fair will enrich their learning and give them a new appreciation of science and
technology.”
